Default Bringing over the smaller items

Maybe this Q is daft but here goes.

What is the best way to get your smaller items over to your new home in canada [ie] family pictures , ornaments , kids toys etc?

im only asking this because we are selling all of our main stuff in the house and it will only be the small and meaningful stuff which we will want to bring with us?

Any advice?

Iain & sheena

We did the same, just shipped 50 boxes (I think CBM is cubic meters) and they were here in around 6 weeks. Cost us around EUR 500 from Amsterdam to Chicago. We brought one suitcase with toys for our 3 year old which was enough to tide her over.
